Required the contents of a can, diameter 19 8-10ths inches, depth 30 inches ?
By the table a vessel 1 inch deep and 19 and 8-10ths inches diameter contains 1 gallon and .33 (hundredths), then 1.33 X 30 = 39.90 or nearly 40 gallons.

By the table a vessel 1 inch deep and 12 and 2-10ths inches diameter contains .50 (hundredths of a gallon), then 16 ÷ .50 = 32 inches the depth required, viz: .50 ) 16 ( 32 X .50 = 16 gallons.
